Product Description

Explore the world with Draw Write Now's theme-based drawing and handwriting lessons. Each features a finished, full-color picture with informational, related copywork on one page, and a facing page showing the step-by-step instructions for completing the illustration. Perfect as an independent study, curriculum supplement, or unit study, the main topic is explored through reading-extension suggestions, map work, and individual lessons that include a topically-related question. With drawing and handwriting requiring many of the same skills, the regular practice found in Draw Write Now is designed to help students build their creativity and technical skills.

"Book Four: the Polar Regions, the Artic, the Antarctic" focuses on various animals you may find in the both polar regions, animals and the living conditions for people living in the Artic, and the geographical location of the Antarctic. Twenty one based lessons (including icebergs, migration, polar bears, reindeer, krill, scientists, and more), plus three "learn more" lessons are included.

64 glossy, full-color, non-consumable, classroom-reproducible pages; softcover. Answers to the lesson-questions are included. Copywork is in a block manuscript style; parents can have students write using their preferred method. A beginning teaching tip section provides a guide on implementing the book. Grades PreK-Grade3.

If your kids are the artsy type, they will like these books. I used one of the series to teach drawing to a class of 5-6 year olds and even though I can't draw at all, the directions were so simple, that we all produced passable drawings. I bought the whole series for my son, who is very good at drawing, and they have helped him learn techniques like perspective, and how to find the lines in a picture. Highly recommend the series for young and budding artists.
